18.01.2022 I had the honour of delivering the first of two Standard Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) courses at my workplace this week. It is a privilege to take people through this training. Mental health issues are the third leading cause of disease burden in Australia. It is great to see employers supporting staff to attend this important training. #stopthestigma #mentalillness

06.01.2022 It’s normal to feel stress and worry when there is a health event, like COVID-19, happening in the community. This can affect any person who is concerned about... the infection, with more specific concerns arising for those being tested, those in quarantine and those who have received a diagnosis. Most people will manage with the support of family and friends, but others may need some extra help to keep things on track.
